  • I've made a start as I'm lying in bed feeling a little bit fuzzy of head.

    Tilly Tidied all bank accounts to ISA. I save money each month from my professional membership fees as employer doesn't promise to pay them every year although has always so far (I still saved a bit just in case) so transferred that over. Also was given some money for Christmas and that has gone in too as there's nothing I actually need at the moment.

    Total now - £124/£1,000

    I'm not going to bed able to do that much every month but I like having a strong start.

    Happy New Year everyone!

    Is it sad that I have been looking forward too today just so I can get my head down with this. Planning to smash my 12k target, but Will be happy as long as I hit 12.

    Will be doing as much overtime as I can and working shifts at a second job where I can.

    I get paid on the 25th of each month. So any money left over on the 25th of each month will be put in a separate account and added up.

    This month I’m aiming too not touch my main wage. Too live off the money I’m making off my second job. So if all goes well I will save £1800 my the 25th of jan.
